Now, this is complicated by having three hives belonging to a new beekeeper and he lives at the north of the city (about 40 minutes away).

Monday night I dropped a nuc box of bees off on his doorstep to remind him to get on with it &#8230;   My hives will go to Ruby Bay and I&#8217;ll keep one or two at home.  In a few week I&#8217;ll put on the honey boxes and let them have at putting up honey.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What else do you want to know Terry?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, Terry has expressed interest in bee stuff and I thought I&#8217;d update you all on what is going on.
